Leaving a tow dolly outside the campground
I am gravitating toward getting a 21-23 foot class C and towing my Mazda on a dolly. As in my contemplated full-time adventures, I am going to be camping in national and state parks, I anticipate that...

I used a dolly for 25 years. We now tow 4 down, but it is more because of my back and knees...I like 4 down, but starting 2016 most towables will require even more setup for towing...like pulling 3 or 4 fuses or disconnecting the battery (losing clock, radio, etc?)
Back to your question. When pulling the dolly into parks with smaller spaces I would unhitch in front of the campsite. Usually I could push the dolly into the site and then drive the RV in partially driving over the dolly. In some campgrounds I could push the dolly partially under the rear of the RV to stay within the assigned space. Still in other campgrounds the spaces were wide enough to accommodate the dolly off to the side of the RV. Only one in the 25 years was I asked to park the dolly off site. That was at a very high end campground, but the campground provided a tractor and driver to move the dolly to storage and return the dolly at checkout...not really a problem at all. Demco now makes a partially folding dolly, but again, in my 25 years using a regular Demco KarKaddy II I never had a problem with campsite storage.
Happy Trails.
